Quotes 

• Sookie Stackhouse : [a man walks by]  He's glamoured, can't you tell? Listen. His mind's full of fog and disco music. By the way, they can't glamour me. Can they glamor you?

  Barry : No, but I fake it.

• Barry : Listen, I don't know what little fried corn-on-the-cob town you're from, or what candy-ass vampires you're with, but this is Dallas, baby.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You watch your tone of voice. And don't you call me "baby".

• Barry : Why won't you leave me alone?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Because I've never met another telepath. Have you?

  Barry : No, and don't say that word.

  Sookie Stackhouse : It's what you are. Nobody else knows what it's like to be us. We need to stick together. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

  Barry : Yes it is! My life is shit. I can't do anything normal people do. If I'm not around a bunch of vampires, I can't hardly think straight.

  Sookie Stackhouse : I used to feel exactly the same. Like I had a disability.

  Barry : More like a curse.

  Sookie Stackhouse : But lately since I met my boyfriend, it seems like telepathy can come in handy some times. You can even make a little money.

  Barry : Then you're even crazier than I am.

• Bill Compton : [waking up as she comes back to bed]  I dreamed you were gone.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You did?... That's funny, 'cause I was.

  Bill Compton : [chiding]  Sookie...

  Sookie Stackhouse : It was only for a few minutes. I had to. Bill, it's the most amazin' thing. I met another telepath and he's not a vampire or very good at it. Oh, it's wonderful knowin' there's somebody besides me.

  Bill Compton : You made him aware of your gift after everything I've said?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Not on purpose. We were in each other's heads before we knew it. I thought you'd be happy for me.

  Bill Compton : The more people know what you do, the harder it is for me to protect you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [about Barry]  He can't even admit what he is to himself. He's not gonna do any talkin' about it.

  Bill Compton : You can't be sure.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Yes, I can. I'm good at this. Look, if all we're supposed to do in Dallas is shut up and take orders, I might as well be slingin' beers at Merlotte's. You're the one who told me I was more than a waitress.

  Bill Compton : You are. But...

  Sookie Stackhouse : What?

  Bill Compton : Never mind.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Talk to me. Lean on me. I've leaned on you plenty.

  Bill Compton : Well, here I am responsible for you and Jessica. Yet no decisions are mine. It makes me feel...

  Sookie Stackhouse : Like a human?

  Bill Compton : Like a waitress.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You're walkin' in my shoes and it's givin' you blisters.

  Bill Compton : Eric is strangely intent about all this. It's not like him. I don't trust it.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Don't you worry about Eric. We'll do the job and go home. A deal's a deal.

  Bill Compton : Sookie, you know what he's like. It's not like him to break a contract with a girl.

  Sookie Stackhouse : A woman... he needs me. He won't wanna make me mad.

  Bill Compton : ...I can't lose you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You never will.

• Stan : You should have told me Eric hired a fuckin' human, Isabel.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Now wait just a minute.

  Bill Compton : [about Sookie]  Respect her!

  Isabel : [to Stan]  I couldn't tell you, Stan. You've been off on your own for days.

  Eric Northman : Are you certain Godric was abducted by the Fellowship of the Sun?

  Isabel : No!

  Stan : Yes! They're the only ones with the organization and man-power.

  Isabel : But they're amateurs. It doesn't make any sense. This is Godric we're talking about. Two thousand years old.

  Stan : Old don't make you smart.

  Isabel : Besides there's not proof.

  Sookie Stackhouse : If they've got him, I'll hear it. That's my job.

  Stan : There's not reason to wait. We need to take these fanatics down. Full out attack. Exterminate them like the vermin they are.

  Isabel : [angrily sarcastic]  Hmm, vampire hating church annihilated. Wonder who did it? Fucking brilliant!

  Bill Compton : I doubt the king of Texas would approve of the destruction of our international political agenda.

  Stan : Fuck that. The great revelation is the biggest mistake we ever made.

  Isabel : Don't use Godric to make your own little power play.

  Stan : You're completely incompetent!

  Eric Northman : [almost yelling]  What's happened to Godric that he surrounds himself with clowns?

  Isabel : We invited you as a courtesy. This is not you territory. You have no voice here.

  Stan : Yeah, sheriff. Why don't you run back on down to Louisiana. We don't need you or your puppets.

  Eric Northman : I'm not going anywhere.

  Sookie Stackhouse : I'm nobody's puppet!

  Stan : I have a plan.

  Isabel : It's not a plan. It's a movie!

• Bill Compton : [about the other vamps]  You saw them in the lair tonight. Despicable, vicious, petty creatures.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You're different. You're not like them. No, you're not. You have a heart, whether it beats or not. There wasn't one vampire there who could say the same.
